Read the whole post. There's an application instruction at the bottom and I skip anyone who misses it.

WHO WE ARE

A family-owned jeweler in New York City's Diamond District. Diamonds, engagement rings, and luxury watches, made in our own shop.

The footage is good and it's the kind most brands can't get. A real workshop, a real trading floor, and customers having the biggest day of their life on camera. Right now I shoot and edit all of it myself, and the editing is what's slowing everything down.

THE ROLE, IN ONE SENTENCE

I shoot. You make it good and tell me what to shoot next.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Editing:

Cut short-form video for Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts
Turn one shoot into several genuinely different videos, each with its own hook
Captions, on-screen text, pacing, sound, hook timing
Native edits per platform, no watermarked cross-posts
Keep the footage library organized

Strategy:

Watch the market weekly and bring me formats that are working before I ask
Bring me shoot ideas every week, not just execution of mine
Watch retention, sends, and non-follower reach, and tell me in plain language what you're seeing
Tell me when an idea is bad or a hook is weak. I'd rather argue for ten minutes than post something flat

WHO I'M LOOKING FOR

Someone who thinks like a creator, not a service provider.

Real short-form editing experience with links to prove it
You use TikTok and Reels yourself and have opinions about what's working
Strong written English. You'll be writing hooks and captions in an American voice
Organized and self-directed

You don't need a film degree, a jewelry background, or expensive gear. Most of our footage is shot on a phone on purpose.

WHO I'M NOT LOOKING FOR

An editor who slaps auto-captions on a clip, cuts wherever, adds a trending sound for no reason, and sends it back. That's the job I'm trying to stop doing myself.

I'm also not looking for someone who only ever agrees with me.

WHY THIS IS A GOOD ONE

Full time, stable, long term, with a real budget behind it
Tools and subscriptions paid for
You work directly with me. No layers, no account manager, no client calls
Your ideas actually get shot. This is a creative seat, not a queue
A luxury brand and a category you'll be proud to put in your portfolio
Raises tied to results
Path to leading a small content team

HOW TO APPLY

Two or three links to short-form videos you edited. One line each on what you were going for.
Answer this: pick any jewelry or luxury brand on TikTok or Instagram. Tell me one thing they're doing that works and one thing you'd change. Three sentences.
Start your message with the word DIAMOND.

Anything missing all three gets skipped.
